BMW 328d

BMW's last 3-Series diesel came at a premium price and didn't come with AWD. The new 328d gets optional AWD and BMW says the base price will be just under $40,000. While the old 335d six-cylinder diesel was the most fuel-sipping BMW ever sold in the U.S., at 36 mpg, the new 2.0-liter four-cylinder 328d promises 45 highway mpg. Expect 280 ft. lb. of torque at a very low 1750 rpm—and a new six-cylinder diesel for the 5-Series in the 2014 model year.
